    R2 test without removing cover

    Hi all when performing an r2 test prior to commencing an EFLI test would it be acceptable if the board was made from metal of course to test from the point to the outside of the board rather than to the earth bar? Just for when you are working with large 3phase boards full of cables.

    UK Max distance cable can run overhead without support

    Hi folks, I have been through the regs. Have a garage wired from a house. Cable runs overhead at an appropriate height and is suitable cable. The distance in mid air is about 2m. My question is does this need mechanical support by way of a conduit or tray. It does seem a bit excessive for that...

    RCD seems to trip without physically tripping???

    Hi, I seem to have an RCD that keeps cutting the power at random times without actually tripping, if I reset it, the power comes on and will stay on for anything from a few hours to a few weeks. I've been through all the obvious things, unplugging everything, plug in one at a time etc, nothing...

    PSU works with a multimeter attached, but trips the safety without it.

    Hey, I want to use an old xbox 360 PSU- 12V 175W output- for my 12V sup pump (pump/air compressor). When I connected the PSU to the pump directly the SUP pump worked without a problem until it switched to the air compressor( it does it automatically after the pressure reaches 1 psi. The moment...

    Smart Switch without Earth Terminal

    Hi, I've bought a "yagusmart" smart switch from Amazon and it has no earth terminal. Although there are no metal facing parts I would think the device itself still needs an earth? Or if not, where do I put the earth cable? It is a plastic back box with no earth terminal. There is no indication...

    Possible to tell which Murray replacement to get without removing the breakers (w/pics)?

    I need to replace two AFCI breakers on our main circuit panel. I have replaced and added breakers to our sub-panel several years ago. When I did so, it was convenient to leave that panel unpowered for more than a few minutes, so I was able to take an existing Murray breaker with me to ensure...

    Room lost power without tripping circuit breaker.

    We have one room that seems to have lost most of its power last night. One of the outlets in the rooms has a power strip plugged in that powers the tv and video games, but we flip it off when not in use to save power. Last night, when I flipped the power strip on, the entire room lost power, but...

    I am sending power to some 5v led lights about 50ft from the transformer. I was going to use some CAT6 direct Burial cable that I kept after a contractor accidently cut it (I replaced the wire as I did not want to do an underground splice). So I plan to use 1.5 pairs (three conductors) for Pos...
